Van Signage Prices by Vehicle Type
These van signage prices come from real jobs we’ve fitted at our Middleton workshop. Pick your vehicle type to see what Basic Livery, a Half Wrap and a Full Wrap actually cover on that body shape, and what each one costs. Design, print and fitting are all done in-house, so one team is accountable from artwork to the finished vehicle.
Pickup Truck
The Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200 and Isuzu D-Max are the default site trucks for groundworkers, fencers, tree surgeons and utility engineers. A double cab gives you two long door panels and a tailgate, and the load bed sides sit almost exactly at car-driver eye level, which is why we put the important information there rather than up on the doors.
Basic Livery for Pickup Truck
Logo, number and services across both cab doors and the tailgate, factory paint left untouched. The usual choice for trucks on shared sites — identifiable at the gate, clean for resale.
Price from: £385 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Pickup Truck
Load bed and rear quarters wrapped, cab left in its original colour. The bed sides are the panel drivers actually read at a junction, so that’s where the money goes.
Price from: £1,620 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Pickup Truck
Bonnet, cab, bed and tailgate as one continuous design. A stock white pickup becomes recognisable from the shape and colour before anyone reads the name on it.
Price from: £2,520 + VAT*
Small Van
The Ford Transit Connect, Peugeot Partner, Citroën Berlingo and Volkswagen Caddy spend their day in traffic and on short drops, so they’re read from behind far more often than from the side. Mobile groomers, locksmiths, domestic electricians and couriers all get more out of a strong rear-door layout than a long side panel they rarely sit still beside.
Basic Livery for Small Van
Printed panels on both sides and the rear barn doors, van left in its original colour. On a body this short the back doors earn their keep — that’s what the car behind studies at every set of lights.
Price from: £350 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Small Van
Wrapped from the sliding door back, front left plain. Keeps the cost down on a short wheelbase while still giving you a full-height panel rather than a strip.
Price from: £960 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Small Van
Complete colour change across a compact body. Small vans have few curves and little trim, so the finished edges are usually the tidiest of anything we wrap.
Price from: £1,980 + VAT*
Medium Van
The Ford Transit Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Trafic are the most common trade vans in Greater Manchester, and the ones we wrap most often. The sliding side door splits the panel roughly in half, so the design has to be built around that shut line rather than dropped on top of it — get that wrong and your phone number ends up cut in two.
Basic Livery for Medium Van
Side panel and rear door graphics applied straight over factory paint. The standard fit for a two or three van outfit that wants them matching without wrapping the whole fleet.
Price from: £385 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Medium Van
Wrapped from the sliding door rearwards, using the shut line as the edge of the design instead of printing across it. That detail is what separates a tidy Custom from a scruffy one.
Price from: £1,620 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Medium Van
Full coverage including the sliding door and both rear doors. On the most common van in the country, a colour change is the fastest way to stop looking like everyone else.
Price from: £2,520 + VAT*
Large Van
A Mercedes Sprinter, long-wheelbase Ford Transit or Citroën Relay gives you the tallest, longest uninterrupted panel of any van on this page. Couriers, kitchen fitters and specialist contractors get the most from it — no other van gives your brand more flat metal to work with.
Basic Livery for Large Van
Graphics across both side panels and the rear doors. The panels on a Sprinter are tall enough that vinyl on white still reads clearly from the far side of a car park.
Price from: £445 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Large Van
The lower two thirds wrapped with the roofline left white. The popular option on high-roof vans, where wrapping the top means ladder work and the cost that comes with it.
Price from: £1,655 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Large Van
Everything including the high-roof sides. The biggest uninterrupted canvas of any van here — no billboard in Manchester follows your customers around like this one does.
Price from: £3,120 + VAT*
Drop Side Van
A Transit or Sprinter Dropside has no box to print on, so the brandable area is the cab, the headboard and the aluminium drop sides themselves. Scaffolders, landscapers and builders’ merchants need to remember those sides vanish the moment they’re dropped for loading, so the essentials belong on the cab and headboard where they stay visible all day.
Basic Livery for Drop Side Van
Cab doors, headboard and the drop side rails. These are the areas that stay visible whether the truck is loaded, tipping or standing empty.
Price from: £475 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Drop Side Van
Drop sides and headboard wrapped, cab left plain. The aluminium sides are a clean rectangle with no curves, which makes them one of the easiest panels to design into.
Price from: £660 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Drop Side Van
Cab and drop sides together. We keep your number and trade on the cab as well, so you’re still readable when the sides are down and the truck is mid-load.
Price from: £1,860 + VAT*
Luton Van
The Ford Transit Luton and Peugeot Boxer Luton carry the single largest flat panel of any 3.5-tonne vehicle, and the overhang above the cab sits well above car roof height. For removals firms, furniture retailers and wholesalers that combination is close to a mobile billboard — legible from several cars back rather than only to the driver directly behind.
Basic Livery for Luton Van
The box sides and rear shutter lettered over factory white. You get the full width of the body working for you without paying to wrap it.
Price from: £590 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Luton Van
The box body wrapped edge to edge, cab left factory white. Full-bleed colour across the whole panel rather than lettering floating on a white background.
Price from: £1,860 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Luton Van
Cab, box and shutter as a single design. The overhang sits above car roof height, so this stays legible several vehicles back in stationary traffic.
Price from: £2,880 + VAT*
Rigid Truck
A DAF LF or Mercedes Atego box or curtain body gives you metres of straight, flat side with no wheel arches or door shuts to design around. Logistics operators, furniture retailers and contract distributors use that length for a full message — services, coverage area and accreditations — instead of squeezing everything around a logo.
Basic Livery for Rigid Truck
Body sides and cab doors lettered, with room for operator details where you’re required to display them. Standard for owner-drivers and subcontracted work.
Price from: £900 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Rigid Truck
Body sides wrapped, cab left standard. Common on fleets that rotate cabs on a shorter cycle than the bodies, and on anything heading for resale.
Price from: £2,940 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Rigid Truck
Cab and body wrapped as one. Metres of straight side panel means you can run a proper message across it rather than a logo floating in white space.
Price from: £5,400 + VAT*
Tractor Unit
On a Scania R-Series, DAF XF or MAN TGX you’re branding the cab alone, because the trailer behind it changes from job to job. Doors, sun visor, roof fairing and side skirts are the panels available, and a wrapped unit standing in a yard of plain white cabs does as much for driver recruitment as it does for customers.
Basic Livery for Tractor Unit
Cab doors and sun visor. Enough to identify the unit when it’s running a trailer that isn’t yours, and quick to strip when the unit moves on.
Price from: £595 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Tractor Unit
Lower cab and side skirts wrapped, roof fairing left white. Fleet operators tend to prefer this — the aerodynamic panels stay standard and easy to replace.
Price from: £1,980 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Tractor Unit
The whole cab including roof fairing and skirts. Worth doing properly: a wrapped unit is as much a recruitment tool in a busy yard as it is an advert on the motorway.
Price from: £3,840 + VAT*
Tractor & Trailer Unit
A Volvo FH with a box trailer or a Scania curtainsider puts the largest advertising surface in our range onto the motorway network. Trailers also outlast tractor units in most fleets, so branding the trailer keeps working long after the unit pulling it has been changed — which is why national retail and logistics fleets brand the trailer first.
Basic Livery for Tractor & Trailer Unit
Trailer sides lettered over factory white, unit left plain. Where most operators start — the trailer does the advertising, the tractor just pulls it.
Price from: £780 + VAT*
Half Wrap for Tractor & Trailer Unit
Trailer sides wrapped, unit left plain. Trailers stay with the operator when tractors are changed, so this is the branding that survives a fleet refresh.
Price from: £2,220 + VAT*
Full Wrap for Tractor & Trailer Unit
Unit and trailer as one continuous design. Nothing else here covers as much motorway — a full curtainsider side is the largest surface in our range.
Price from: £7,380 + VAT*
*Guide prices, excluding VAT. Final cost depends on the condition of the paintwork, the wheelbase and roof height of your specific vehicle, and how much design work your artwork needs. We’ll confirm a fixed price after seeing the vehicle.
Van Signage Prices FAQs
How long does van signage take to fit?
Basic Livery is usually a same-day fit — drop it in the morning, collect it that afternoon. A Half Wrap is typically a full day, and a Full Wrap one to two days depending on how much trim has to come off and how the paintwork cleans up. If the vehicle earns its money every day, tell us when you book and we’ll schedule the fit around a weekend so you lose no working time
Which areas around Manchester do you cover?
We’re on an industrial unit in Middleton, ten minutes from junction 19 of the M60, and vehicles come to us from across Greater Manchester — Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Salford, Stockport, Trafford and central Manchester. Fitting happens indoors at our workshop rather than on your driveway, because vinyl needs a clean, dry, temperature-controlled space to go on properly and stay on.
Can you design the van graphics for me?
Yes — design is done in-house, not sent out. Bring your logo in a vector format if you have one (.ai, .eps or .pdf); if all you’ve got is a photo of an old van or a logo off a business card, we’ll redraw it. We then lay your design onto a scale template of your exact model, wheelbase and roof height, so what you approve is what you collect. Nothing goes to print until you’ve signed the proof off.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
We print onto vehicle-grade cast vinyl and finish it with a protective laminate, which is what stops the colour going chalky after a couple of Manchester winters. Cheaper jobs skip the laminate and you can spot them a mile off. Keep the pressure washer at a sensible distance from the edges and a wrapped vehicle will still look sharp years later.
Can the graphics be removed when I sell the van?
The vinyl comes off with heat and leaves factory paint as it was underneath, which is exactly why leasing companies are happy with wrapped vehicles. If you rebrand rather than sell, we can often reprint just the panels that changed instead of redoing the whole vehicle — worth asking before you budget for a full rewrap.
What types of business do you wrap in Manchester?
Sole traders getting their first Transit lettered, three-van plumbing and electrical firms keeping a fleet consistent, removals companies wrapping Lutons, and haulage operators branding trailers. Some want a phone number on a door for a few hundred pounds; others want fifteen vehicles matching. Both are normal here.
Why do van signage prices vary between vehicles?
Van signage prices follow panel area and fitting time. A Transit Connect has a fraction of the surface of a curtain sider, and a flat box side fits faster than a cab full of curves and trim, which is why every vehicle type on this page carries its own price.
